resmlts of the tournament
SENIORS TAKE-OFF  QUARANTINE
Photo  Drama-Freshman   Stunt
1917's amusing skit on quarantine regu-
lations and a spirited Freshman stunt
were the features of the Senior reception
on Saturday night.
1917's performance opened with a
screen-song addressed to the "pretty
babies" of the audience. The first act, a
take-off on' registration under quarantine,
showed Freshmen going through "hot
air", "hot oil", "microscope", and "cold
showers" and reappearing with the yel-
low ticket "purged". The Freshmen, es-
pecially those impersonated by C. Hall in
brilliant orange, and E. Seelye in yellow
and purple, were recognized at once.
Their methods of smuggling merchandise
from the Pike, with the aid of '20's nu-
merous M. Carey's, were the features of
(he second act.
Pianist Wins Applause
"Love Lights, or Light Loves in a Lone
Lighthouse", the Freshman moving pic-
ture, was the hit of the evening. Ger-
aldine Hess '2ii, although she confided
to the audience that it was "no woman's
job", produced crashes, bell buoys and
raging storms from the quivering piano,
with the blase skill of the professional.
The manoeuvres of villain, hero, and
heroine on the spiral staircase leading to
the light were the centre of amusement
in the heart-stirring stunt.
After the general dancing which fol-
lowed the Freshmen sang their class song
for the first time. "It was really remark-
able", said the choir leader, in speaking
to a "News" reporter, "with what con-
certed smoothness and expression the
("lass of 1920 sang, when one recalls that
they have been a class for less than a
fortnight".
Freshman Class Song
Triumphantly we stand pledging thee
Our deepest faith, Bryn Mawr,
Knowing thy lights ever our emblems are.
We would thy truth uphold,
Bound by one great Ideal�
To serve thee, uphold thee and true worth
reveal.
Hail, Bryn Mawr we sing,
To thee our gifts we bring.
Of thy fine nobleness we would a part
possess.
Knowing that thou dost Joyously give.
We would thy truth uphold,
Fired by thy spirit's splendor�
Take thou our offering of loyalty untold.
E. Brace.
Music:   "Morning Praise", from Gluck's
"Orpheus and Eurydlce".
Freshman Cheer:
Canendl. Laudandl, et nobis amandi,
Bryn Mawr et viginti.

Six   Reels Raise   Roars
An improvised movie rehearsal in six
reels entitled "The Devil's Revenge or
the Price 8he Paid", was the Junior Com-
mittee's first contribution this year to the
Endowment Fund. By making "one night
stands" the 1918 company visited every
Hall last Friday evening and cleared
about $26.
"The Devil's Revenge" depended on
old-fashioned melodrama and a would-be
modern director, for "laughs". E.
Houghton, the "wizard king of the Soap-
stone Film Co.". as camera man and di-
rector, kept up a steady flow of com-
ments.
8. Belleville, the Ingenue heroine, and
R. Hart, the wayward hero, were plotted
against by P. Turle and J. Rldlon. vam-

NEW  HOCKEY  PLANS
11  to  Practice on  Each  Team�Students
to Coach
According to the new system worked
out for hockey practices, only eleven
players will report for practise on each
team. This will accustom the same play-
ers to working together, and will prevent
the usual change of line-up Just before the
match games on account of players
dropped by the team above. The captains
are not to hunt up subs; in case anyone
cannot play she Is responsible for secur-
ing the person on the team below her who
plays the same position. 1918 has voted
a fine of 25 cents for falling to get subs
and 10 cents for lateness.
This does not mean, the captains say,
that the teams are picked already. If any
player, In practice on her own team or in
subing, is better than the person In her
position on the team above she will be
moved up.
Good coaching for third teams has also
been arranged for. The plan of the Ath-
letic Board is to have three hockey play-
ers, a Sophomore, a Junior, and a Senior
coach the third teams, each for one period
three times a week. N. McFaden 17 and
T. Howell 18 have been appointed.
The fourth, fifth and sixth teams will
practise from 3 30 to 4.15.
Graduate practices are from twelve to
one on Monday. Wednesday and Friday.
A number of players has come out.
